    2015 Tundra Crewmax Platinum
    Hello all-

    First time truck owner here. Traded in my 2016 4Runner Trail last night on a 2015 Tundra Platinum. While I loved and will definitely miss the "go anywhere" that I had with the 4Runner I really needed a bed b/c hunting/fishing/camping/hauling stuff in the 4Runner just wasn't practical (wife doesn't like dead deer and elk in the back for some odd reason).

    Initial plans are to figure out the bed cover situation. Not sure if I want to go cap and drawer system or go with something like a hard tonneau like the Diamondback. Other short term plans are to get tint (no one likes a fishbowl), some sort of console vault, and possibly swap out the head unit to add on CarPlay. Any other "must do" mods please feel free to let me know.

    Other than that, I plan on just driving her for a while and spending all my money on gas
